What is a retail packaging finishes & coatings?
Retail packaging finishes and coatings are post-print surface treatments.

Availability and performance are confirmed on a project-specific sample.

Depending on the project, options can include corrugated board, paperboard, plastic, acrylic, PVC, PET, PP, metal, wire, wood, MDF and mixed-material structures.
Can you create a prototype before production?
Yes. Prototype or sample development is available so fit, assembly, presentation and packing can be evaluated before mass production.
Do you provide quality inspection?
Quality inspection can be coordinated for dimensions, structure, print, assembly, packing, quantity and other project-specific checkpoints.
What is the MOQ?
MOQ is project dependent and varies with structure, material, print process, product loading and production requirements. Request a project-specific quotation.
